     @me @georgetakei Worth noting that the NDP and Liberals split the leftist vote. Canada consistently votes leftwing and the conservatives almost always lose if you count wings of the parties like you would under a two party system.

     Well, if The Danes manage to buy California, then technically Canada would just replace us as the 5Oth state. But I'm okay with that. Organic smørrebrød on every street corner, more bike lanes, universal healthcare and fact-based politics sound terrific to me!
